1. An amusement device, comprising:
- a flexible member;
a signal generating means attached to said member for producing an oscillatory electrical signal when said member is repeatedly flexed; and
a sound generating means responsive to said electrical signal for producing sound which synchronously varies with the repeated flexure of said member, said sound generating means including circuitry for producing a first tone which varies in loudness proportionally with the voltage of said oscillatory electrical signal and a second tone which varies in loudness proportionally with the voltage of said oscillatory electrical signal when the frequency of said oscillatory electrical signal exceeds a predetermined value.

Abstract
An amusement device is disclosed which contains a signal generator attached to a flexible member. When the flexible member is repeatedly waved, an oscillatory electrical signal is produced by the signal generator and supplied to a sound generator which produces sound which synchronously varies with the repeated flexure of the member caused by the waving action. The sound generator produces a first tone with respect to the oscillatory electrical signal and a second tone when the frequency of the oscillatory electrical signal exceeds a predetermined value.
